PER CURIAM.
Arkansas inmate James Fudge appeals the district court’s1 adverse grant of
summary judgment on his due process claim related to his ongoing segregated
confinement. After carefully reviewing the record and the parties’ arguments on
appeal, we conclude that the district court’s decision was proper. See Beaulieu v.
Ludeman, 690 F.3d 1017, 1024 (8th Cir. 2012) (grant of summary judgment reviewed
de novo); Rahman X v. Morgan, 300 F.3d 970, 973-74 (8th Cir. 2002) (discussing due
process requirements related to ongoing confinement in administrative segregation).
Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
